CONGRESS a OY The Senate. Washington, June 6.—A tornado of partisan debate swept over the senate yesterday with Senators Hanna of Ohio, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Carter of Montana the chief figures. For sensational criminations and re- crininations, for bitter personalities and for poignant invective the debate exceeded anything heard on the floor of the chamber for many years. The lie w not passed directly, but the truthfulness of statements was chal- lenged very sharply. Mr. Bacon of Georgia precipitated the scene by re- I ing a charge made several days Mr. Pettigrew that Mr. Cramp, adelphia shipbuilder, had con- $400,000 to the Republican ago by the PI ed uign fund in 1892, with the under- standing that he would be reimbursed *ts for the construction of s for the government. ‘This con said, had been de- her by Mr. Hanna, the pres an of the Republican na- comn , nor by Mr. Carter, lairman of the committee Then the storm broke.

The House. Washington, June 7. — When the house last night at 10:30 took a recess until 10 o'clock to-day the two cham- of the national legislature, with down apprepria The final adjourn- S§ postponed until it ment of congre: is over. The proceedings in the house during the day were tame and without dra- matic incident. This was partly due to the fact that the firm position taken by the house on the armor plate pro- vision transferred the fight to the floor of the senate and to the obstinate re fusal ef Mr. Lentz, an Ohio Demo- erat, to permit any unanimous consent ation until the Republican lead- ers agreed to allow the testimony of the Coeur d'Alene investigation to be printe the throat all day, and except for privileged matters things legislative were practically at a standstill, But Jast night there was enough excite- ment to compensate for the dullness of the day’s session. The house got its dander up over the failure of its conferees to abide by their instruc- tions on the ocean survey item, and af- ter an exceedingly sensational debate in which Mr. Cannon, the chairman cf the appropriations committee, made some startling disclosures as to the manner in which Con.mander Todd, the hydrographer of the navy, had waged his campaign against the stana taken by the house in favor of the coast and geodetic survey doing ocean survey work, the house rejected the conference report by an overwhelming majority, and the speaker took the al- most unprecedented course of appoint- ing new conferees on the part of the house who are net ‘members of the naval committee. The debate was one of the bitterest and most heated of the session. The Senate. ~— Inability to reach an agreement upon the naval appropriation bill forced the senate to abandon the adoption of the house resolution for final adjournment yesterday. The armor plate question, which for five years has been a burn- ing question in congress, upset the sen- ate Jeaders and caused their well laid plans to go awry. It was a day of strife and turbulence in the senate. | Early the conferees on the naval bill reported a disagreement and the sen ate was told plainly that the house |lief t .

A conipromise proposition was presented by Mr. Penrose of Pennsylvania, and after hours of debate, finally was adopted by a vote of 39 to 35. The discussion of the proposition devel- oped an unusual bitterness of feeling and charges of robbery and political corruption were hurled about the chamber with an abandon which, if they had not fallen from-the lips of grave senators would be regarded as reckless. Little worse ever was heard in the heat of a political campaign. Three o'clock, the hour agreed upon for final adjournment, was passed and still the senate was held by the armor question. When the Penrose propo- sition finally was adopted, it was sup- posed the way was clear, but late last night another disagreement was re- ported upon the naval bill, and the senate took an adjournment until 11 o'clock to-day. The evening session presented a brilliant scene, the gal- leriesbeing thronged with a gay and fashionable audience. All were well entertained as Senators Carter of Montana, Mason of Illinois, Turner of Washington and Money of Mississippi kept the senate on edge with rattling political speeches. Washington, June 8.—Congress ad- journed sine die at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. For the senate it was a day of waiting. The naval appropria- tion bill—the stumbling block to final adjournment—could not be agreed to by the conferees of the two houses and the disagreement was reported to the senate early in the day. The re- port was accepted by the senate, which refused to request another conference, although Mr. Hale expressed the be- an agreement might be ar- rive There was an evident dis- position on the part of the senate to make trouble if the conferees should recede from the senate amendment as to the ecean surveys, and it was deemed the wiser policy to afford the house an epportunity again to pass upon the question. At 4 o’clock, after several recesses had been taken, it be- came known to the senate that the house had concurred in the senate’s amendments remaining in controversy, and soon afterward the house resolu- tion providing for final adjournment was pa amendment fixing the ‘clock, June 7. It was not until 4:40, twenty minutes before the hour fixed for adjournment, that the president pro tempore of the senate, Mr. Frye, affixed his signature to the naval bill. With some other meas- ures it v hurried to the president, who was in waiting in his room in th» capitol, and was signed by him a few minutes later. The- concluding hour of the session was purely a social session. No business beyond the adop- tion of the customary resolution of thanks to the chairman, Mr. Frye, was accomplished. The In marked contrast with the exciting incidents attending the bitter struggles of the clesing hours of the session, laid down his gavel at 5 o'clock yesterday afternocn at the conclusion of one of the most picturesque scenes whi¢éh has ever oc- curred in the hall of representatives. Party passion and personal rancor, which have brought the house to the q House. brink of actual riot several times dur- ing the last forty-eight hours, gave ay in the closing half-hour to good fellowship, which found vent in a yatriotic cutburst that stirred the to the highest pitch During 2 brief recess thirty minutes of the the final adjournment, ident an opportunity to to the bills that of enthusiasm. taken within to give the pr affix his signature rm and resolute, stee ¥ | were being rushed to him for approval, through the turmoil and | yward midnight the gal-4 tired legisla- | yects of an all-night | a group of members, led by Mr. Mercer of Nebraska, Mr. Ball of Texas, Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts and Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, congregated in the area to the left of the speaker's rostrum and/began singing patriotic airs, The galleries were banked to the doors.

The new conferees, led by Mr. Cannon, who had brought in a compromise which they considered more satisfactory, were ignominously brusied aside. It was a distinct vic- tory for the old conferees, Messrs. Foss of Ilinois, Dayton of West Vi ginija and Cummings of New Yo The other feature of the closing day was the course of Mr. Lentz of Ohio is consent legis- lation. For three days he has objected to bills because a majority would not allow the testimony in the Coeur a@ Alene investigatioa to be printed, and he naintained his position to the end. Newspuper Suffers, From Fire. New York, June 13.—A fire which started about midnight on the fifth floor of the ‘Tribune bunlding dam- aged property to the extent of $5,000.

Work tor a Sherlock Holmes in the Wise Murder Case. Anoka, Minn., June 13.—Phe Wise murder case is fast getting in shape for some Sherlock Holmes. Officers were confident that they had found the gun that did the killing when the pulled a rifle out of the haystack ef Johnson’s farm and placed Johnson under arrest. Developments came last night in an unlooked-for manner that convinced them that it was not the gun, and now two Winchester rifles figure in the case. Elisha Weaver, Walter and Alexan- der McCrea left Arcka at 3 o'clock to spend the night at Round lake spear- ing fish. They had a_ boat with a torch, and by the light saw a gun be- neath the surface of the water. They pulled it up, took it to camp and “pumped” it three or four times, when it discharged, striking Walter Me- Crea. They came to Anoka at once. Dr. Frank dressed his wounds. The gun was found to be a Winchester, 44- caliber, model ‘73, round barrel. Un- doubtedly it is the right gun. How it came there, who threw it in and when did they do it, are some of the perplexing questions. Some — people think it wili help Johnson, but others don’t know as it will. Johnson tells a Straight story and maintains he is in- nocent. Another suspect is being watched, and arrests may come at any time. Some sensational develon- ments may be expected before long.

Walker, Minun., June 1 ‘The report of a threatened outbreak among the Indians at Leech Lake is a scare story. Walker has the usual number of In- disns in town trading, with no thought of distur and no trouble of any kind is manifested. Tue story was fornded en a prophecy made by an Indian that a tornado would pass over Leech lake and the sv inding ter- ritory end blow all the white men off the face of the earth. The only place of safety would be Squaw Point. on Leech la Ten. Indians believed in the prcphecy and put up tepees at Squaw Point, and these were too bad- ly frightene it the prospect of the sterm te have dances or create dis- turbances. © The rest ef the Indians paid no attention to the matter. The day fcr the prophecy to be fulfilled h come and gone and the white men are still here. Walker had not heard of the reported disturbance until the Twin City papers were received. Ke VES THE TRACK.

The Greek government has just signed a convention for the construc- tion of a railroad from Piraeus to De- miriy, near the Turkish frontier. The road is to be completed in four years, and the section from Piraeus to Liva- dia is to be in operation in two years. + The line will run through Attica and Thessaly. It is not yet exactly known at what point the Ottoman line will reach the boundary, and so the route of the shori extension of the Greek line from Demirly to the frontier is to be settled later. When the railroad is completed the lines of Greece will, for the first time, be placed in connection with those of the rest of Europe. It will then be possible to travel all the way by rail from Athens te Paris. A concession to build the line was granted in 18S9, but the government declared it forfeited in 1894, because the company had not carried out its agreements. It is said that under the present auspices there will be no interruption of the enter- prise, and that the capital of Greece is certain to be brought into closer rela- tions with the rest of the world. .
